Fun Fan Fiction Contest

The Friends of the Milton Free Public Library are happy to announce a new “Fun Fan Fiction” contest- for Milton’s middle school students. This contest is open to all Milton students who are currently in 6th, 7th or 8th grades. Middle schoolers are encouraged to remake an established work of fiction to make it their own — add a character or scene, change the ending or an existing scene. The Friends are asking that each submission include a copy of a page from the original work, and a brief description of the original work (form the book jacket or back of book), a note about where the change takes place. Each work should echo the “voice” of the original author. Students will also be judged on correct spelling, grammar, and correct use of punctuation.

Three prizes will be awarded: The 1st prize winner will receive a check for $75, 2nd prize is $50, and 3rd place $25. The due date for submission is April 5. Prizes will be awarded at the Nute Middle School “Nute Week” assembly on April 26. Please send submissions either through Mrs. Soucy (Nute Middle School students) or directly to Milton Free Public Library (please mark item for the contest, attention Jessie Estevao).
